"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Sorry, no - I presume she meant "living in each other's pockets", and until you highlighted the typo I didn't even register it - I simply cut'n'pasted her question from the email. But bless you for giving us the benefit of the doubt!

Erika - yeah, that's my thought: metaphors can be exaggerated and impossible (such as claiming that A is in B's pocket whilst B is in A's pocket) because they're, you know, metaphors. The laws of reality are in abeyance. Whereas to call something a paradox suggests to me that it's something rather more substantial. Although I'm not expressing this well.

I think metaphor.

Also, I braved ice to run errands and decided to do other errands tomorrow - you know when it's supposed to melt. I want it to melt!

Meanwhile, today, having picked up my prescriptions, dropped off my rent and my lease renewal and picked up some food for today and tonight - I am recording the "director's cut" versions of Torchwood that are up. (We're losing 2.1 and 2.2 tomorrow, so I figured I'd catch up.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The good news: I have completed my online tax returns (minus one piece of information I need fro our daycare) and I'm getting money back this year, so woo hoo!

The bad news: I seem to have broken our printer. BOO.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What was the setting of the MacBeth, Jesse? It sounds like a fairly modern setting, given the lack of bowties in early Scotland.

I would say 30s-ish, except Mrs. Macduff was in basically modern clothes. It was pretty fascist-ish.

Catalogchoice I think. I forget if it's .com or .org, though.

I have shiny new toes! And I took some pants in to be altered and they are taking three inches off my waist and hips. Paul Gross Arms!

Now I need to go to the computer store and buy a new printer and router but I'm lazy and tired.

Fun! Although it was harder than I expected. Joe Boucher was there!

Fuck -- iTunes just went screwy on me again. I am ALL SET with this shit. I guess I should really have a backup.

A friend of mine just texted that they put the rankings up from today, and I'm 448, out of 700+, so I'm feeling pretty good about that.
